Drake’s Voice Replaces 2Pac & Snoop Dogg In Viral Fan Edit Of “Taylor Made Freestyle”

by

A fan on social media has edited a new version of Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle” that replaces 2Pac and Snoop Dogg’s A.I. verses with one from the Toronto rapper himself. Drake dropped the song as a diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar back on April 19, but he took it down soon after when 2Pac’s estate threatened legal action.

The video has been getting plenty of support from fans in the comments section on YouTube. “This is the most brilliant way to use AI I’ve seen in a minute lol well done,” one fan remarked. Another user wrote: “Wouldve been so much better and funnier if he woulda did this instead. You saved it lil bro.”

2Pac’s estate described the song as “a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the Estate’s legal right” and “a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time.” A statement from their lawyer continued: “The Estate would never have given its approval for this use. The unauthorized, equally dismaying use of Tupac’s voice against Kendrick Lamar, a good friend to the Estate who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult.” Check out the latest fan version of the song below.

Following the release of “Taylor Made Freestyle,” Drake shared several more songs targeting Lamar, including “Family Matters” and “The Heart Part 6.” Lamar, on the other hand, has dropped “Meet The Grahams,” “Not Like Us,” and more. Neither has responded since May 5, when Drake shared “The Heart Part 6.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud on HotNewHipHop.

TDE’s Punch Questions Elliott Wilson’s Edit Of Kendrick Lamar’s “Meet The Grahams”

by

Kendrick Lamar has removed copyright from almost every other person, page, account, content channel, or reactor posting his recent Drake diss tracks online… except for one. Moreover, Elliott Wilson had taken to Twitter with an edited version of his haunting song “Meet The Grahams” without the verse claiming that Drizzy has a secret daughter. Then, he expressed surprise when he realized that the copyright owner disabled the media on Twitter, for which people have many theories. TDE’s president Punch had some words on the matter, and his statement on the edit is fueling other ideas as to why K.Dot would’ve wanted to take that down.

“Why would you request for it to be edited anyway? Did you ask for edits on anything else?” Punch asked Elliott Wilson, who invited him for a conversation in the replies on Twitter. Moreover, this lends credence to the speculative idea that Kendrick Lamar wants to keep the original version of the song intact because, even though his allegations are unverified, so are many of Drake’s and ones on other of his own tracks. As such, Punch seems to be pointing at an apparent double standard in this beef that Wilson probably did not intend in the first place.

Punch Reacts To Elliott Wilson’s Kendrick Lamar Edit

Regardless, the damage is there, and Kendrick Lamar and Drake seem no closer to providing proof on one another or burying the hatchet at any point in the future. Perhaps the battle isn’t over yet despite what most folks are saying online, so we’ll see if this changes at any point. Of course, there are people like Freddie Gibbs who rightfully concluded that the only real winners in this beef were the record labels. Maybe this scuffle over an edit also speaks to how hip-hop media was able to shift and mold this battle in their image for their own gain or benefit, but we’re all complicit in that as fans.

Meanwhile, we can’t help but wonder how this whole situation will age. Will we ever remember this edited version of “Meet The Grahams,” and will “Not Like Us” keep its commercial staying power? No matter the case, this is going down in the history books one way or another. Kendrick Lamar and Drake went too hard, too quick, too low, and too impressively to not consider this one of the most memorable hip-hop moments of the past decade or so.
